Interaction of Lipocalin 2, Transferrin, and Siderophores Determines the Replicative Niche of <named-content content-type="genus-species">Klebsiella pneumoniae</named-content> during Pneumonia

ABSTRACT Pathogenic bacteria require iron for replication within their host. Klebsiella pneumoniae and other Gram-negative pathogens produce the prototypical siderophore enterobactin (Ent) to scavenge iron in vivo. In response, mucosal surfaces secrete lipocalin 2 (Lcn2), an innate immune protein th...
